This game was from the old site, and it was fun!
Hopefully everyone knows how to play.

Person 1: Would you rather...
Person 2: (answers and asks a new question)

Let's play it!

Would you rather hug your worst enemy for two whole minutes, or punch your best friend in the gut?

Hi Everyone,
I was googling something a while ago, and I came across this picture. I don't usually like emo boy stuff at all, but for some reason I liked this outfit and I wanted to make it, so here you go, this is what I came up with! Enjoy it!

Mesh: From Simguys.net, and it's under Fashion>>Teen>>And it is the mesh used on pg 1.

Thanks to these creators for their work. Without them, I couldn't do any work, because I SUCK at making my own textures, and I don't even know how to mesh. I'm just an Alpha/Recolor cockroach.




P.S. I got some Alternative T-shirts for Teen Females coming up, and an Adult Female Maternity Set. I'll propably have them up by Monday.

Hi Everyone,
This was from the old site, but I miss it, so I'm going to bring it back. I have had some weird dreams in this thread's absence.

I had a dream the other night that I was an emo boy (this is weird because I am not a boy and I am definitely NOT emo). Anyway, in my dream, my step-dad always tried to video-tape me no matter what I was doing, even while I would use the bathroom. I got really mad at him, but I was too small to fight him, so I just told him he was a jerk and a pervert.
Later, I had to go to school, so I got on the bus, and there were a whole mess of ugly brown bowling shoes up in the roof racks so I didn't have anywhere to put my books. So I just sat with them on my lap. There was no wind in the bus but for some reason, my hair kept blowing in my face and I got really irritated trying to smooth it away. Soon my girlfriend got on the bus (i don't know her in real life). She sat by me and I knew without asking that she was on drugs. I really did not know how to deal with her  during the ride over. I was angry and concerned, but I didn't know what to say.

It got weirder and went on, but some of the things I forgot, and some of them are too violent/inappropriate for this site.

Now y'all post your weird dreams so I don't feel like the only person with weird dreams!

Hi everyone, this is just something little. It isn't a big conflict or anything, but I have a problem that comes up when I want to take pictures of my sims in groups.

I will try to do a picture of two or more sims, and I can get the first two to stand shoulder to shoulder, or as close as I want them to stand. But if I try to put anymore sims beside those two, the sim I am moving slips sideways, or goes up in the air! I have the "boolProp snapObjectsToGrid false* on, and even with pose boxes, I can't get more than two sims close together.

Someone please tell me what I am doing wrong. I would appreciate it. I need to get some family portraits done, without weird looking sims.

Thanks

Oh please, someone make me some new beards! I think that the Sims 2 has a huge shortage of nice facial hair. I got a couple online, but I can't find many. All my guys are either shaved up or have the exact same beards as every othe guy with a beard. Plus there is hardly any combonations. If I want a beard and a mustache together, I have to choose only one, and besides the thin mustache and short beard on Maxis, the Maxis facial hair is just horrible. Most of my sim men are gruff and have a lot of facial hair, and Maxis beards are either too neat, or they just don't cover what I'm going for.
So, I would be very, very grateful if someone could create me some of these amazing beards, that actually fit to the shape of the sim's face. (there's a couple of them, like the Static X and System of a Down beards that hand off the guy's jaw and look clipped on or fake).
I'd be happy with just one, or all, or some. I just really need some variety to my men's faces. I'm sure that there are a lot of others that would appreciate it, too. I have one too many pretty boy sims. Thank you so much to anyone who is willing to do this.
Message me for more pictures if need be.
Jamie

P.S. I couldn't add any more than 4 pics, but a more detailed "Satan beard" would be cool too. Like with a thin, short mustache and a long pointy beard on the chin. Kind of like the Jack Sparrow beard, but one piece at the bottom, instead of two. Thanks again

This is a tutorial I made for cesartje, and I thought I should share it with the rest of you. I know that there are others online somewhere on MTS2, but incase some on this site don't go to MTS2, here is my version. This is how to permanently change your sim's height, until they grow to a different lifestage. After that, they will revert back to the standard height, and you will have to change it again. Here we go:

*Special Note: Changing your sim’s height may alter their interactions with other sims. It may make hugging, kissing, etc. off center, because your sims are set to a certain height. Also their limbs may look odd. Sims are not meant to have their skeletons stretched. Do this at your own risk, and as always, back your game up before you attempt to do this. If you do not like the way it turns out, you can always revert the numbers back to the way that they were with this same process.


1. Go to your "My Documents" folder and click on "EA Games".

2. Once there, choose "The Sims 2", then when you have gotten there, choose "Neighborhoods".

3. Once you have gotten to Neighborhoods, you will see a few folders consisting of mostly one letter and three numbers following. Your screen may look something like this: (See the Neighborhoods.JPG I attached at the bottom. Sorry guys, I couldn't figure out how to move my attachments up here)

The individual folders represent each of your neighborhoods. G001 in my game, for example, is Rivierblossom Hills.

4. Click on the neighborhood you want (the one that has the sim of who's height you want to change). This may take a bit of time to figure out which Neighborhood is which. But you'll get it.

5. Once you are there, click on the folder marked "Characters".

6. When you open the "Characters" folder, a whole bunch of SimPE files will show up. They will be titled with the Neighborhood, then User, then a series of numbers. In this tutorial, we will use G001_User01264. (See the Character Files.JPG I have attached at the bottom)

This is the hard part, finding the file of the sim you are looking for. Here's a little hint that might make it easier to find your sim, instead of having to look through up to thousands of files.

*Newer sims (ones that you have created recently) will be down toward the bottom of the page.
Older sims (ones you have created a long time ago) will be toward the middle/upper part of the page. Also, the first 500 or so files are usually reserved for NPCs or Townies from the base game. My actual sims I have created didn't start until the 519th file. So you should probably start from 500 on.*

7. This is how you can tell which file is which: When you open the SimPE file, scroll down a little ways and you will run into a folder that will match the name of the file you just opened, but, it will have your sims first name following the title. Here it is "G001_User01264-Rayne". (See the Rayne.JPG I have attached at the bottom)

8. If you want to be absolutely sure that this is your sim, scroll down almost all the way to the bottom of the list and you should see a folder marked "jpg/tga/png Image". You may see two of these folders with the same title, click the one that is written in black, not blue. After you have clicked this, a picture of your sim should show up. If you see the sim you wanted, you have the right file!!

9. Now comes the actual changing of height. On the top half of the page, off to the left, you should see an option that says "Age Data AGED(1)" Click that.

10. Then on the right side of the top of the page, you should see another option that is also called "Age Data" written in blue. Click that.

11. Now on the bottom half of the page, a chart with a bunch of words and numbers should show up. It looks like this:

12. In the chart, look through it until you see a piece called "stretch (dtSingle)=" There should be either a 1 or a .94 after this title. that is your sim's height. Click it.

13. Across from the chart, in the bottom box named "Value" your sims height should be written there. In order to change your sim's height, you need to type something else in the box. The standard height per sim "skeleton" is 1. If you don't know what number to convert your changes to, see the table in #14. I got this height conversion chart from MTS2. So big thanks to the person that made this!

14. The numbers on the left are heights, in feet, of how tall you want your sim to be. Example "5 1/2" is five and a half feet, or 5'6". The numbers on the right are conversions to put in the box.
4 ½= 0.7500
4 7/12= 0.7639
4 2/3= 0.7778
4 3/= 0.7917
4 5/6= 0.8056
4 11/12= 0.8194
5= 0.8333
5 1/12= 0.8472
5 1/6= 0.8611
5 ¼= 0.8750
5 1/3= 0.8889
5 5/12= 0.9028
5 ½= 0.9167
5 7/12= 0.9306
5 2/3= 0.9444
5 ¾= 0.9583
5 5/6= 0.9722
5 11/12= 0.9861
6= 1.0000
6 1/12= 1.0139
6 1/6= 1.0278
6 ¼= 1.0417
6 1/3= 1.0556
6 5/12= 1.0694
6 ½= 1.0833
6 7/12= 1.0972
6 2/3= 1.1111
6 ¾= 1.1250
6 5/6= 1.1389
6 11/12= 1.1528
7= 1.1667
7 1/12= 1.1806
7 1/6= 1.1944

15. Choose the height that you want to change your sim to. Let’s say I want to make Rayne 5’9”. I’m going to choose the number that coincides with 5 ¾, which is 0.9583. Type the conversion you want into the box. Make sure you type it just right before you’re done. Or else your height may be really screwed up. (See the Last Bit.JPG at bottom)

16. Click “Commit” at the bottom right of the screen. A pop-up will ask you if you would like to save your changes. Choose Yes.

17. Now you’re done! Close SimPE and the next time you open your game, your sim should be the desired height.

Okay, in another thread, I said that I was sorting all of my downloads. I have spent a lot of hours weeding through all the stuff I do and don't want, and sorted all of those into sub-folders. But I have a problem. Probably just a small problem.

I have a cluster of downloads that have no title really, they are just a bunch of letters and numbers. From my other downloads I can pretty much gather what they are and where they go, but these, I have no idea what they are, and what they are supposed to do. They look something like this:
"o2po297spae0w2nie9qn1wqn990e1" Has anyone else had trouble with these? Can someone tell me what they are. I can't even tell if I open them with SimPE. There's so many little folders inside, I don't know which to click on to see what I am dealing with. Is there some kind of download that is generally titled like this.

Another little question: Like I said up above, I sorted all of my downloads into sub-folders. Is this going to effect them in my game? Will they still work in a sub-folder?

Thanks everyone.

I thought I was over this! I got mygame as updated as I could. Nothing seems to be conflicting, to the best of my knowledge, but my game still freezes. I load it up, and it will get all the way to the neighborhood before one of three things happen:

1. The game will just freeze, even if I don't touch the mouse, and I will have to turn off the whole computer for it to close down the game (ctrl-alt-delete doesn't work here).
2. A pop-up will say that there is an error and the program must terminate. Then I can usually ctrl-alt-delete and the program will shut down.
3. It says that Direct3D had an error and the system is aborting the program. Sometimes that works and it will all shut off fine, and other times it freezes and I have to turn the whole thing off.

I haven't downloaded any hacks or mods since I last fixed it, so I have no idea what could be wrong. Has anyone else had this happen?

Hello Everyone!

This is a cute little rainbow necklace for males, age Teen-Elder. It was requested by xxxkatieGorexxx, and I hope she likes it! The mesh I used was thee same one that was used on my Hatchetman Necklaces. It was made by Noogie666 over at MTS2, here is the link for that:

Hi,
Can anyone make me the house from the TV show Family Guy? It would be best if you have watched a lot of the episodes so that you have a general idea of what the house looks like inside, since I can't find any of my own.
Here's the outside.

[ATTACH]139178[/ATTACH]

As far as I can tell from watching the show, the house has 5 bedrooms, and at least 2 bathrooms (one of which is attached to the master bedroom), a garage on the right side, a lounge room on the left side, and a basement that can be accessed from a door in the kitchen. I'm not picky really. It doesn't have to be exact. Even close is fine.

Thanks to anyone who is interested in doing it.

Admin note: Attached images removed.

I am so irritated with my game. Ever since I got AL, my game freezes all the time. I start it up and go to a family, and I am never able to play it for more than one [sim] day. I'll be doing my thing, and the game will just freeze up out of nowhere. I end up having to shut the whole thing down.

I have the CleanPackage Installer, and the SeeThem. I don't know what could be freezing my game. The SeeThem will tell me that I have a:
"Phone-Line Controller #----"
or an error with the sim itself. I don't know what that means at all.

Can someone help me? I'm worried that the more I play my game and the more it freezes, someday the whole game is going to permanently crash. I need to somehow fix this.

This was requested by hatchet_fan.
Here you go. Sorry it took me so long.

This is a dogtag on a ball chain with the hatchetman logo on the front. It's another piece of the Wickid Clown Project. It fits males Teen-Elder. Now all your Juggalos don't have to look like boring-folk.

Hello!
This is the third piece of my Wickid Clown Project. I decided to make some necklaces for the girls. These fit females only Teen-Elder. They come in both gold and silver. I'm pretty sure that the first download is silver and the second is gold. I hope you enjoy them!

Hello Again Everyone.
It has taken me a while to get onto any new projects, since I moved recently. But now I am settled in and I am able to work on new stuff. This is another piece of my Wickid Clown Project. This time, it's for the little ones.  This is a single, simple toddler outfit, and it can be used for Everyday or Pajamas. It works for both male and female babies. It's black and has the Psychopathic Records logo printed across the front. A must-have for all of your little Juggalo/ette Juniors!

[ATTACH]136523[/ATTACH]
[ATTACH]136524[/ATTACH]

It's got the same Maxis mesh as most of the other toddler pajamas, so you don't need a mesh for it.
Enjoy!

I have a whole lot of downloads for my sims, and I am sure that I have many that do not work, or work but cause conflicts in my game. I want to go through my downloads folder and delete the stuff that doesn't work, or the ones that are out of date and cause problems. I have the Sims2Pack Clean Installer, but that doesn't even tell me anything about my downloads.
It doesn't tell me which are broken, out of date, or conflict.
The downloads that are highlighted in red are supposed to be hacks that can change the game. And the pinks are supposed to be ones I have more than one of, but I don't know. I could be wrong.

Is there anything out there that can actually tell me what I have that is out of date or broken? I've downloaded stuff for my sims that just does not show up, and I want to delete it to make more room on my game, so that it starts up and functions smoother. Can someone help me?
